Dr. Andrés Camayo is a private plastic surgery practice in Cali, Colombia. Its team of two specialists focuses on cosmetic changes to the face and body. The practice sits in the Ciudad Jardín neighborhood. It offers both surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures.
Certifications and Expertise
The surgeons hold certifications from major international and national plastic surgery organizations. These memberships mean they follow professional standards and keep up with surgical education. They belong to these professional bodies:
- International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS)
- American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
- Sociedad Colombiana de Cirugía Plástica Estética y Reconstructiva (SCCP)
Both Dr. Andrés Camayo and Dr. Camayo Zorilla have about 15 years of medical experience. They studied medicine at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá. After that, they trained in plastic surgery at Santa Cecilia University in Brazil. Dr. Camayo Zorilla went on to complete a general surgery specialty at Santa Casa de Misericordia de Rio de Janeiro.
Body Contouring and Liposculpture
The clinic shapes the body with specialized equipment for better precision and recovery. For liposculpture, surgeons use MicroAire technology. This device runs at 4000 vibrations per minute to help move the cannula. As a result, removing fat takes less manual effort.
Patients who want a flatter stomach can have lipoabdominoplasty. It combines a tummy tuck with liposuction. Gluteoplasty uses one of these techniques:
- Fat transfer (lipoinjerto) using fat harvested during liposuction
- Placement of silicone implants
- A combination of fat grafting and implants
Gluteoplasty recovery usually takes 2–3 weeks. Patients can return to exercise after one month. The clinic also performs mastopexy to lift sagging breasts, plus breast augmentation with high-quality implants. Surgeons choose implant size based on chest measurements, patient height, and existing breast tissue.
Facial Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine
Facial procedures aim for harmony and symmetry while preserving breathing and structural function. Rhinoplasty adjusts the size or symmetry of the nose. Patients can usually return to work in 3–4 days. Stitches come out about 10 days after the procedure.
The practice offers several other facial surgeries:
- Blepharoplasty for eyelid rejuvenation
- Bichectomy to reduce buccal fat in the cheeks
- Mentoplasty for chin contouring
- Otoplasty to correct ear shape or position
Patients who want a fresher look without surgery have non-surgical options. Botox injections treat wrinkles on the forehead, neck, and around the eyes. Hyaluronic acid fillers treat under-eye circles, add lip volume, and soften nasolabial folds.
International Patient Recovery and Services
The clinic gives patients clear recovery timelines, so they can plan their stay in Cali. Most surgeries take place under general anesthesia after an anesthesiologist's evaluation. If you're traveling from another city or country, the clinic recommends staying at least 12 days before flying home.
Aftercare instructions depend on the procedure. After breast surgery, patients wear loose clothing for one week. They should also avoid sexual activity for 6 weeks. Botox patients shouldn't rub the treated areas for 12 hours, since this can move the toxin. After hyaluronic acid treatment, patients should avoid sun exposure and hot drinks for 3 hours.
